Appearance When Linking To A Post (1 Viewer)

[PabloCruise]

I have wondered about this for a while, but I never made the effort to ask in here.

Sometime when I want to link to a post, the reference will have a nice look to it, like you can see the overall thread title. The text seems to reference the top post of that page, but that's okay. This is an example:

Other times, I get something that looks like this:
Still functional, but just not as nice looking.

I am running Chrome on a Windows 10 box.

Any thoughts?

Has nothing to do with the browser. Unsure why the software would produce different results. Beta-testing the next update shortly, so it will likely all change again...lol

Looks like the 2nd one is linking an individual post, instead of the entire thread. So there IS a difference in the link data, and it's handled differently (no clue why tho)

Thanks Woody.
In both examples I am linking to a specific post, not just a thread, or page of a thread...
LMK if I can do anything to help.

Likely the "page 2" portion of the 2nd link that changes how it's displayed.

Regardless, it's 100x better than the link-only stuff of the good ol days....

Here is what I linked in the purty example - note the page and post reference:

FJ60 Power Steering Conversion for FJ40 while keeping air pump

It's from an '89, going into a '79.
